“There is only one problem in the whole world: restoring spiritual sense in people. Showering on them something like a Gregorian chant. ”

Saint-Exupéry

The monks of Le Barroux invite you to follow live the liturgical offices, entirely sung in Gregorian in the extraordinary form of the Roman Catholic rite. This initiative is supported by Mgr Jean-Pierre Cattenoz, the archbishop of Avignon.

Four times a day, on your iPhone with the Barroux application, or on your computer, you will be able to connect to the great liturgical prayer of the Church.

The offices broadcast live are :

• Prime: 7:45 or 8:00 (see the time-table).

• Sext: 12:15 every day.

• Vespers: 17:30 every day.

• Compline: 19:45 every day.
